Supercharged with Superior Horsepower

If you’re in the market for a pickup truck with power, performance, exceptional styling, and high-tech features, visit Zeigler Ford Plainwell near Grand Rapids to experience it.

Eye-Popping Performance Numbers

For several years, the Ford F 150 Raptor specs have been worth the price tag. With a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6, the original Raptor delivered 450 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque. With the release of the Raptor R in 2023, Ford is upping the game with eye-popping numbers. With the supercharged 5.2-liter V8, the Raptor R delivers 700 horsepower and 640 pound-feet of torque. The Raptor R is at the lower end of the Ford F 150 towing capacity with a rating of up to 8,200 pounds.

Ford made changes to other performance features to get the specs out of the Raptor R. The automaker recalibrated the high-performance supercharged V8 with an exclusive exhaust system and suspension with stronger front-axle coil springs and a long-travel suspension.

Aggressive Ford Styling Features

Exterior styling is aggressively unassuming. The flared fenders differentiate it from the typical F-150, and the subtle LED lights in the grille give ample warning of what’s coming. All Raptor R models are outfitted with 37-inch tires and 13.1 inches of ground clearance for drivers who want a street-ready, off-road truck.

Drivers will notice the power dome atop the hood. The standard Raptor has a larger air vent on the hood, but the Raptor R has a bigger one. Ford also included Code Orange graphics that show off the extra R in Raptor R with its cracked desert earth styling.

Ford turned up the interior styling to make the Ford F 150 Raptor R price worthwhile. The high-end trim includes black leather and microsuede upholstery on the Recaro seats emblazoned with a distinctive R on the Raptor logo. The dash has carbon fiber trim to enhance the luxurious off-road styling. Once you climb into the driver’s seat, you’ll notice the bold R on the steering wheel as it urges you to push it to enter a preset drive mode.
